Scott and I were a bit skeptical.
Would it just be another untouched toy taking up space in the playroom? Would Julie and Johnny pound on the keys driving us absolutely nuts?
Two days after Christmas she taught herself how to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" by reading the beginner's book. Then, she asked to take piano lessons.
Maybe this was for real, we thought; however, we weren't quite convinced it would last.
Almost a year later, and Julie still loves to play. After school she runs to practice her lessons, and has even written a couple short songs.
Today was her first recital.
She was nowhere near the most experienced piano student, or the most talented. But she did great, she tried her best, she had fun and she was completely proud of what she had achieved.
Way to go Julie!
